Uncle Art has left a legacy that will live on and remind us of him and Aunt Stella for as long as we live. As a little child I can remember being on the front porch of their apartment and watching them arrive from their wedding! What a lovely and happy couple! More important what great results from a great life! Thank you Uncle Art!!!

It was a privilege to have Uncle Art in my life. He will be remembered fondly and his smile and sense of humor will be missed. Those who touch our lives enrich them.
